Angel Monarch

Without much care for the ruckus, she burrowed her head in the soft pillow she was sleeping on. Only after Cass yelped in surprise did Sera realize what the soft pillow actually was.

With a bit embarrassed, but mostly tired expression she turned away, and hid under the covers. Cass just giggled next to her, and done the same.

They tried to sleep in as much as possible, but Agnes didn\'t let them. She ordered a few of the ascended that lived inside the house to take the leaders into the bathroom.

They got unceremoniously dumped into the bath filled with cold water. Cass gasped and began cursing, while Sera just felt great. She always loved cold water, since it helped calm down her turbulent mind.

Eventually Sera fell asleep in the bath, even though everyone was moving and shouting all around her. The people left her alone and after a few minutes the bathroom cleared of any unwanted people. Only Sera, Cass and Agnes remained.

"How is she doing?" Asked Agnes after everyone left.

She didn\'t know Sera well, but a person had to be blind to not see Sera\'s struggle. She couldn\'t imagine how much burden she carried each day on those slender shoulders. It was truly inspiring.

"I think she is doing better, but it\'s clear that she never takes time off and only works..." Cass answered, she had already taken her dirty shirt off and currently she was waiting for the bath water to warm up.

The bath was huge and it could fit about five people without any of them touching. It was also luxurious and had a heating feature, so you wouldn\'t need to refill the whole thing with hot water.

"That\'s not good... She needs to learn to have fun in life and ask for help..." Agnes said while she began to peel of the disgusting gray long shirt from Sera.

"I agree, but I don\'t think that will be easy for her. It is quite sad really, since she always had to rely on herself, and had to put up a front, she only has her eyes on her goals... It is unhealthy and it will lead to either death or failure..." Spoke Cass, while she slowly eased inside the now smoldering hot water.

With a moan of pleasure she full submerged her body, until only her head stuck out from the water. Her long purple hair swam atop the water, spreading out all around her.

She was naked, but since it was only Agnes inside she didn\'t feel even a little bit uncomfortable. Agnes was the only real family Cass had ever had. She was like a mother to her, the only real mother she got to know.

And it wasn\'t like Agnes had never seen her naked. She was the one to give her baths after some extreme nights out, where Cass had drunk herself to unconsciousness.

Without even thinking about it Agnes moved and began to clean the sleeping form of Sera.

"What do you think, will she help us?" Asked Agnes, while applying soap to Sera\'s arms and shoulder.

Cass stared at the ceiling with a wide grin as she said... "Oh yes... I can\'t tell you what she is planning, but let\'s just say that the killing of my mother is part of it!"

Agnes looked very surprised, but her hands hadn\'t stopped their cleaning. She applied soap to her chest and stomach without any shame or particular care.

It was a bit weird to clean a living legend like Sera, but Agnes\'s professionalism knew no bounds. She didn\'t care that the person she had to take care off was a peasant or a queen, they were the same for her... A job needed to be done!

"Really? Now I\'m very curious what those goals might be!" She said while moving onto Sera\'s legs and nether area.

"Well, you can ask her after she wakes, I\'m sure she will tell you at least some of those crazy ideas... But let me tell you, that woman under your hands is simply insane, and I\'m still not sure how the hell will we achieve what she planned!" Said Cass while chuckling to herself.

Just remembering everything David had told her about what they would do in just a few short weeks. If she was a sane person, she would\'ve ran to the other side of the world just to be far enough away, but sadly she was never truly smart.

Agnes had very carefully cleaned everything on Sera\'s body, ignoring her moans when she was cleaning between her legs.

After all that she began to wash those heavenly golden locks of hers. If there was one thing Cass was really jealous of, that was Sera\'s hair. It fitted her so perfectly, and they were so divinely graceful...

"When will your mother arrive anyway?" Asked Agnes, spitting the word \'mother\', like it was a curse.

Cass really didn\'t want to think about that right now, she just wanted to soak herself in the water\'s comfortable warmth in silence as long as possible.

"Sometime in the next few days. She was never really a fan of being punctual as you know... I hope she comes and leaves as soon as possible!" She said, then dunked her whole head under the water for a minute.

Agnes was already done with cleaning Sera and now she sat on a chair near the door. Behind it she still heard the maids clean the bed. It seemed they needed to bring a whole new mattress since the other was so dirty.

It made Agnes smile a bit and remember those days, when she had to do similar activities for little Cassandra.

Agnes turned her eyes to her and remembered how much that little shy girl had grown up.

Back then she only cared about going out to have fun and acting like one of those famous actors. She even went on an interview once, but it never aired, since her mother threatened to kill everyone that was part of the show.

After that whenever Cass tried to go on interviews, they immediately rejected her. She didn\'t even know why, until one of them was kind enough to tell her that story.

When she confronted her mother about it, she just said that, evolved should have higher standards then to mingle with the common folk... The regular humans.

She wasn\'t alone with this kind of thinking. Sadly most of the evolved in the capitol act similarly. They think themselves better than others just because of dumb luck.

Agnes actually liked this eastern part of Europe. The people were much nicer, especially if they were part of the Angelic Order.

Suddenly her eyes went to Sera\'s sleeping form, and she chuckled to herself a bit as realization hit her.

"What\'s so funny?" Asked Cass, her eyes were closed as she floated atop the water.

"It\'s nothing, I just realized that I technically washed a deity, or at least the goddess of a church!" Hearing this Cass laughed as well, and she looked towards Sera who was starting to awaken.

"She would be a horrible goddess. Not wrathful enough and her pride is way too low! Every west coast evolved would be better, they are already acting like little gods, even though most don\'t have nearly enough power to back it up..." She said while staring at the ceiling.

"Oh, but they will learn... Won\'t they?" Asked a third voice.

Cass slowly turned to the side, her pink eyes focusing on Sera\'s golden ones. She had a small smile, but her eyes were a bit confused. She looked herself over and was a little surprised to find every part of her clean.

"Thank you Agnes, it\'s very kind of you to help me out!" Said Sera after turning around.

She didn\'t seem even a little bit embarrassed by her nakedness, but neither Cass or Agnes said anything about it.

Agnes smiled brightly and warmly, a true motherly smile. She bobbed her head a bit as acceptance for Sera\'s thanks.

After that she turned back towards Cass and she let herself float atop the water as well.

"So, what\'s the plan for today?" Asked Sera after a few minutes of silence.

"I have no idea... We should probably check on the construction and the soldiers. I would also like to make a few announcements to my citizens, and we still have to prepare for my mother\'s arrival!" Sera turned her head and stared at Cass with confusion.

"Who is your mother?" She asked, and only now did Cass realize that she never even told this to anybody here.

It wasn\'t surprising since she mostly referred to her as \'That Bitch\' or \'The Whore\'. Still she felt a bit ashamed about it, mostly because they would all learn this fact a few days before her arrival, giving them no time to mentally prepare.

"Nobody special, you probably won\'t even know her." Said Agnes with a giggle, causing Sera\'s interest to deepen. It was clear she was sarcastic, which meant that Cass\'s mother was probably very famous.

Cass looked a bit uncomfortable, but after taking a deep breath she told her this secret.

"You know of the Stellar named Amygdala right?" She asked with a meek voice. Next to her Sera laughed, understanding what she was saying.

"That bitch is your mother?" As she said it Agnes began to die from laughter and she nearly fell from her chair.

Cass just straightened herself and stopped floating. She stared at Sera, like she was a ghost or something.

"You really think that, people usually think of her as a hero or something, since she fought so many battles and killed so many of \'our enemies\'." She made quotation marks with her hands, while speaking.

Sera just laughed and said... "Oh yes... Enemies... No civilians at all... That\'s what they tell on the news anyway... She probably killed ten times as many civilians than soldiers during this war, and they weren\'t collateral at all. She just loves to kill and watch other people suffer... Sadistic Whore!"

She spit those last words and her face twisted into an angry grimace. Agnes began to laugh even harder, while Cass\'s eyes turned teary. Suddenly she jumped on Sera and gave her a huge hug.

"Thank you... I always hate when people talk about her like she is good or something... She is truly one of the worst if not the worst being\'s I have ever met!"

Cass pulled Sera in a very tight hug, causing her to blush, like really blush. Sera\'s whole head turned bright red and she didn\'t know what to do.

On one hand she wanted to support her friend, but on the other, it was very strange to hug someone naked.

Eventually she decided to embrace her embarrassment and let Cass cry a bit on her naked shoulder.
